Classification
Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Grade
| “ |
CTCAE Grade 1 Cytokine Release Syndrome or Acute Infusion ReactionMild reaction; infusion interruption not indicated; intervention not indicated. CTCAE Grade 2 Cytokine Release Syndrome or Acute Infusion ReactionRequires therapy or infusion interruption but responds promptly to symptomatic treatment (e.g., antihistamines, NSAIDS, narcotics, IV fluids); prophylactic medications indicated for ≤24 hrs. CTCAE Grade 3 Cytokine Release Syndrome or Acute Infusion ReactionProlonged (i.e., not rapidly responsive to symptomatic medication and/or brief interruption of infusion); recurrence of symptoms following initial improvement; hospitalization indicated for other clinical sequelae (e.g., renal impairment, pulmonary infiltrates). CTCAE Grade 4 Cytokine Release Syndrome or Acute Infusion ReactionLife-threatening; pressor or ventilatory support indicated. CTCAE Grade 5 Cytokine Release Syndrome or Acute Infusion ReactionDeath. |
